2011 Draft Budget Documents - Amendments
|
Date: 31 January 2011 |
As directed by Council motion on January 26, 2011:
WHEREAS the Standing Committee Budget books were aligned
with Standing Committees based on the former Terms of Reference; and
WHEREAS staff are reviewing the Books to ensure that the
budgets items are addressed by the Standing Committee with the mandate under
the new Terms of Reference; and
WHEREAS Standing Committee Budget reviews begin on February
1st, prior to the next Council meeting;
THEREFORE BE IT
RESOLVED that the City Treasurer, in conjunction with the City Clerk and
Solicitor and affected Committee Chairs, be delegated the authority to route
budget pages to the appropriate Standing Committee; and
BE IT FURTHER
RESOLVED that any changes are sent to all Members of Council and posted on
ottawa.ca.
In accordance
with this motion, the following areas in the 2011 Draft Budget tabled on
January 19th need to be amended.
Planning /
Community and Protective Services Committee budget documents
In the original Planning Committee budget document, all housing related operating and capital programs were presented. Upon further review, the Planning Committee pages have been amended to only present the Affordable Housing operations budget. All 2011 capital authority requests will be considered by the Community and Protective Services Committee.
In addition to the 2011 capital requests, the Community and Protective Services Committee will also consider the operating budgets for housing programs, shelters and homelessness support initiatives.
We would ask that pages 41-53 of the Planning Committee budget document be removed and replaced with pages attached as Package 1. For the Community and Protective Services Committee budget document, please insert the pages contained in Package 2 after page 180.
